<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-family:"Abadi MT Condensed Light"">Popular music is one of the key cultural sites for contemporary political struggle. In the media, we see rock songs and stars harnessed by politicians in order
to gain credibility with demographics and the antics of pop stars generate public discussion on issues such as gender, race, class and sexuality.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-family:"Abadi MT Condensed Light"">However, music is most often encountered as a part of our everyday mediated lives. These moments of banal engagement – listening to music on the train, pirating
tracks at work, following musicians on twitter – are also political. Media representations of music (music videos, social media feeds, lyrics etc.), as well as the experience of ‘musicking’, reveal the machinations of the contemporary music culture industry
– as well as potential spaces of negotiation and resistance by consumers and producers. We particularly encourage submissions relating to contemporary intersections between music, media and politics in Aotearoa / New Zealand and the wider Australia-Pacific
region. </span><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-family:"Abadi MT Condensed Light"">If selected by the editors, submissions are blind peer-reviewed. Other possible areas of inquiry include</span></p>
